Took a break from working on verifying Tiger Line data today. Instead, I used the Yahoo imagery to trace the outline of Carter Lake. It has an odd shape because it used to be the Missouri River channel before a flood changed the path of the river. This caused the renderers to put the name of the lake over a neighborhood instead of over the lake.
To correct the locaton of the name, I put a point in the body of water and added the name as a property of the point and took the name off of the outline of the lake. If there is another way to deal with this problem, let me know.

You could split the lake into pieces, like someone did in BG
osm.org/?lat=43.3947&lon=26.6674&zoom=13&layers=B000FTF
This was said to be bad, because it is mapping for the renderer.
But it looks better and it is obvious and generates serveral names.
